Join the Generosity Movement: Hundreds Rendered Homeless in Pakistan

"It took me many years to save enough money for my two daughters' wedding ceremonies in April," wept the elderly Christian Believer. "Now, I am left with nothing at all." Unable to come to terms with the horrific events that unfolded on March 9, 2013, he laments that he does not have the money or the means to even buy his family a meal.

On March 9, an angry mob of Muslims torched the homes and shops in a poor Christian neighborhood. The previous day a Muslim man lodged a complaint against Aslam, * a Christian Believer. He alleged that Aslam insulted the prophet Muhammad. Following this accusation, threatening messages against Christians were broadcast from mosque loudspeakers. The threats that blared from the loudspeakers warned the Christians, some of whom fled from their homes.

Incited by these messages of hatred, a large mob comprising nearly 3,000 people carried out the attack against the Christian community. Unable to find Aslam, they viciously attacked his father, who was later taken into custody.In an effort to calm the uncontrollable mob, the police registered a blasphemy case against Aslam. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

Pakistani authorities have promised to bring to justice the criminals and compensate the loss of the Christians. However, it remains to be seen if these promises are kept. Attacks against Christians have become all too common. The Christians who were displaced in a similar incident in August of 2012 are still unable to return to their homes.

Even though Christian Believers constantly face danger and distress, they continue to faithfully worship and follow the living Jesus Christ. We invite you to join hands with Window International Network in supporting Christian Believers and leaders in the 10/40 Window Nations. Please follow the link below to invest in the work that God is doing in the 10/40 Window.

Prayer moves the hand of God. Once there is sustained, strategic, and informed prayer in the 10/40 Window, we will witness massive numbers of unreached people coming to Christ. Pray that it will happen in our generation. - Beverly Pegues
